Introducing Monarch, Aslan Brewing's newest flagship india pale ale and the first in 16-ounce cans.
With cities slowly repealing their emergency orders, it’s become clear that change is almost here. Probably as good a time as any to update a brewery’s lineup of flagship beers. Which is exactly what Bellingham’s Aslan Brewing is doing this October.
Announced on social media and shared with the media, Aslan Brewing is releasing their newest flagship beer - Monarch. Designed to be an india pale ale, Monarch has been described as having notes of citrus (like lemon and grapefruit), pine, delicate herbs, and a familiar biscuit-like foundation. The result is a beer that should be both crisp and dry. With their thoughts, here’s Aslan Brewing.
With trends constantly changing, recently we’ve found ourselves reaching for the classic, clear IPAs more and more. After testing a new recipe for the past year, we’ve worked hard to perfect this beer to present an IPA with less haze, more robust hop expression, and more clarity. One-off brews like Marigold have helped us try different recipe variations and find the ideal flavor combination.
Not satisfied with what’s inside the can, the brewery has thoughtfully designed the exterior of the can. Finally, the Aslan has confirmed Monarch will be their first beer to be in 16-ounce cans.
Now, at their taprooms and soon throughout their distribution network, including Washington, California, Idaho, and British Columbia.
For now, visit one of the taprooms in Bellingham or Seattle.

About Aslan Brewing Company
IT ALL STARTED IN THE SUMMER OF 2012, as a conversation over a pint of beer at a local Bellingham pub. We shared our dreams and soon realized that the elements of our future were sitting amongst us: a businessman, a craft beer believer and, most importantly, a brewer. Together, Frank Trosset, Pat Haynes, and Jack Lamb would go on to build and operate a pilot brewery in Downtown Bellingham, where, for the next twelve months of our lives, we would research and develop the knowledge and skills needed to start our own commercial microbrewery and restaurant.
We called it ASLAN BREWING COMPANY, and quickly realized its identity through our personal commonalities. With a commitment to organic ingredients, locally sourced goods, and low-impact practices, we aimed to offer the community something new and refreshing, the sustainable way. As for “ASLAN”: a lion is the King of the Jungle, a regal figure rooted in nature, and aslan is the Turkish word for lion. This aligned our desire to operate a world-class brewery all while preserving the raw and exotic elements of the world. Through hard work and perseverance, we brewed over 130 original pilot batches, connected with local brewers and beer lovers alike, and designed a business plan catered to craft quality and creativity.
In the final days of Summer 2013, we were given the keys to what would become Aslan’s Brewpub. Plans and permits in hand, we began our nine-month journey into construction that was done primarily by us, Boe and Don Trosset. After months of unconditional commitment, Boe Trosset was added as an invaluable member of the ownership team. Fast forward to today and we are four great friends who have together manifested our dream of owning and operating an organic brewery. We are proud and fortunate to be working with many of our close friends and to be part of the amazing community that is Bellingham.
